Etymology

From Middle High German rüde, rüd, from Old High German rudio, from Proto-Germanic *hruþjô (“male dog”), possibly from *hruttōn- (“to roar”), from a Proto-Indo-European root shared by Ancient Greek κόρυζα (kóruza), Old English hrot. Or, from Proto-Germanic *hreutan-, *hrūtan-, *hruttōną (“to snore”), which would be related to Old Norse hrjóta.

Cognate to Dutch reu, probably also to Low German Rühe (“dog”).
